Thank you for sharing these, they are very exciting tips, I would like to add that AI has allowed for a great set of tools that are missing here tools like ARI: www.hubtimum.com that we use ourselves to get intel on prospects or clients before we say hello and follow up based on 30+ buying triggers and it even send personal written notes and gifts based on birthdays, promotion etc...
